If you meet someone you love from the West Bank, you think about it ten times before being together. Moving around is almost impossible. Even love cannot circulate here, because the map is divided, full of checkpoints and obstacles. When you start to ask yourself: Why should I love someone from another place if it’s impossible to see them? — I think that’s the worst level of life we can face. I would love to write a love story, just like anyone else. No soldiers, no checkpoints, no suffering. Just a story of two people who love each other, whether they succeed or fail. That’s my dream. ~Extracts from the interview with Ramzi Maqdisi, a Palestinian actor and director living between Jerusalem and Barcelona.
